There aren’t many nice SR5, which is Toyota’s quasi sporty version of the Corolla, left from the mid 70s. Less so that are stock. This one looks to be quite a nice example with period pin striping and white letter tires on it.

Features a hemi head 2TC engine which is cable of great power when modified. Looks like the engine is all there and stock but the engine compartment could use some detailing to look as nice as the rest of the car.

The engine is connected with a rare for this time and price class five speed gearbox. Toyota made a big deal of this in their ads of the time as most of rear drive compacts were stuck with four speeds meaning higher cruising revs.

Interior looks nicely preserved.

These are one of my all time favorite wheels. At 13″ the next owner might swap them out for something larger but that would be a shame.

Wow…when’s the last time I saw one of those…probably early 80’s, I’m guessing.
Just goes to show I guess that there are still some nice old cars lurking about, out there. They just never seem to be in my neighbourhood. Mind you this is down somewhere in Indiana, but I think they still have some snow down there and the liberal use of salt for same. ( OK I read a little more carefully….this one was in storage for a number of years. Go figure. )
I just really never understood the concept of ” been in storage for a number of years “… cripes, put it back on the road and drive that thing and enjoy it.
